Faint (feat. Instupendo)

A 1 track electronic single (4m ) — released February 14th 2021 on unseelie

'Faint' follows a blooming relationship where the narrator feels as if it's all a fairytale-like dream. In this dream however, they're inadequate and not functioning as they should [I'm the walking doll, but I can't walk at all]. The other in the relationship accepts these shortcomings, unaware of the 'blister on the heart' the narrator bears, inadvertently diminishing and crushing them [break my bones tonight, break my promise] [your love is violence]. The flame of their bond is kept alive only by fleeting elation: momentarily forgetting all else.

"Himera and I made this song with a quick burst of magic; they sent over the song and I recorded my vocals all in the same day." - Instupendo

In an age of artistic polymaths such as Tyler, the Creator, Devonte Hynes of Blood Orange, or Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi (a collaborator of Peterson’s), Instupendo is making a name for himself with an innovative vision. - WBRU WBRU

[Instupendo’s] vast and dreamy soundscapes can only be explained as something quite magical. - Nicola Phillips Kaltblut Magazine

Himera manages to make the same sort of melodies and sounds that would send waves of euphoria over a crowd of ecstasy-high ravers somehow feel intimate and vulnerable. - Matt Moen PAPER Magazine

Having already released EPs Fragile and Angel at age 15, this next one follows a similarly bubblegum bass trajectory, while taking Masterov’s sound further into high-definition trance that oscillates around themes of platonic romance and deep convivial love. - JK AQNB
